I can certainly point you in the right direction. According to the online owners manual, a 2020 Montana High Country 295RL has a GVWR right at 14,000 lbs. So we are likely dealing with a pair of 7K rated axles. Now I do not have a way to look up the exact length of your leaf springs. If only it were so easy right? We would need you to measure the current leaf spring from eye to eye across. The best way is to jack up the camper and measure the spring when it is not under a load.

For example we have the # e64SR which is a 6-leaf spring for a 7K axle that measures 24-7/8" eye to eye. If you can confirm the weight capacity of each axle, and the length of the spring, we will be able to pinpoint a replacement.

Looking at the GVWR of a 2022 Keystone Montana 3121CK you most likely have 7K axles so the Roadmaster Comfort Ride Leaf Spring Suspension Kit w/ Shock Absorbers #RM-2460-2570 would be what you need. To confirm you'll want to look at the axles for…

Hey Doug, it does look like your 2020 Keystone Montana Legacy 3120RL does use 8K axles so the part appears to be correct, but I'd recommend double checking on that first. But to answer your question, we don't really have any idea if it'd…

Thanks for the pictures! If you're getting that loud of noise out of your 2019 Jayco Eagle Fifth Wheel's equalizers then it is time to replace them. Greasing them won't fix that loud clunking noise. If your axles are 35" on center…

To correctly measure a leaf spring, you'll want to jack the trailer up on jack stands so the axle is hanging freely, then measure directly across from the center of one spring eye to the other, as shown in the provided diagram. The height of the…

Answer 6

As your axles measure 35" apart from center to center but the frame hanger spread (FHS) measured 58-3/4", you did go the correct way. The axle spacing is definitely important, but the FHS is more so. Just be aware that you axle spacing may…

I am not 100 percent sure what you are asking but it sounds from what I can gather that your bearings don't fit? If that is indeed the case then you need to ensure you have the right size bearings, and there are only two ways to accomplish that.…

Since AL-KO is no longer around, you will need to check your existing bearings to find the correct replacement. If you remove your hub you can look for the bearing numbers stamped in the face of each bearing. If these are worn or missing you can…

Hi Paul, you’re definitely on the right track here, and I can help you narrow this down with confidence. With your tandem 3,500 lb Dexter axles and 33 inch spacing, both the Dexter EZ Flex part #K71-652-00 and the Lippert Road Armor part #LC53CK are…

Answer 11

You can use leaf springs that are rated higher than the axle without any issues as long as they measure the correct measurement for your trailer. For example the 6-leaf double eye spring for 7,000 lb axles part #e64SR measures 24-7/8" eye to…

Answer 12

The #84 spindle is just a common way to identify the spindle dimensions typically used for 3,500 lb axles. So instead of listing out the parts, people can just say they have #84 spindles and it's easier to know what fits it. The CE Smith Trailer…
